I really don't like sentences like "the Lakers only beat Houston by 2, what does that say about them?" and people saying crap about the Heat because of a game or two.

It's the first of the dang season. It doesn't say anything about what the team will be like come playoff time. We ALL know the Lakers are a great, great team, and they will dominate this year. We also know that the Heat are going to be great once they get used to each other, which shouldn't take long at all. We all know pretty much who the teams are that could get in their way of a championship as well.

Pretty much, the only thing we're all arguing about is who our favorite team is, and why our team is better than Zaga's or Baller's or Dusty's team. Seems kinda stupid to me. I'm pretty sure we all want to see the monumental championship series that would be the Lakers vs. Heat matchup. Am I right?

Just imagine what the threads will be like if that scenario plays out.

You are right and I hope it happens. Been wanting a Kobe/Bron final for 3 years now.
IMO well see another Lakers/Celtics final and it could go either way once again.
